LATHE.

Specification of Letters Patent` Patented Mar. 22, 1910.

Application filed December 9, 1905. Serial No, 291,139.

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that we, W immun: Vtt. SHoNir and JoIiN A. IlU'rcniNsoN, citizens of the United States, residing at Mound City, in the county of Pulaski and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lathes, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in wood turning lathes, and has for its object to provide a lathe that is especially adapted for turning butchers blocks, wooden rollers, and the like.

Another object of our invention is to pros vide a knife adjusting means in connection with the lathe, so that the knife will travel over the face 0f the block, cutting a perfectly true and smooth surface.

Another object of our invention is to provide an adjustable tool rest in connection with the lathe so that it can be easily and quickly adjusted up against the work in the lathe, or away from it, or removed as desired.

A still further object of our invention is to provide an auger in connection with the lathe so that holes can be bored in the work, without removing it from the lathe.

With these objects in View, the invention consists of the novel features of construen tion, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification:-F1gure l is a perspective view of the lathe. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the supports and guide-ways showing the carriages carrying the tool rest in place. Fig. 3 is a top plan View of the lathe, the frame being omitted. Fig. 4 is a section through the adjusting wheel and bearing.

Referring to the drawings A and B, indicate the supports and G, the frame of the lathe. Journaled in a bearing D', on the support A, is a tail block D, provided with the usual head D2, and screw threaded end D8, on which is mounted a wheel E, provided with an outwardly projecting flanged collar E', which is journaled in a bearln D, so that the tail block can be ad'uste Secured to the rear of the support is a frame F, carryin a pulley G, mounted on a shaft Gr', journa ed'mthe bearings Gr2 and GB, on which a belt is adapted to travel.

l The bearing G, is provided with an adjusting screw G, which is adapted to engage the end of the shaft to vregulate the adjustment of the saine. One side of the pulley1- is provided with a frietional surface adapted to be engaged by u friction wheel ll, keyed on the slotted shaft J, which is journaled in the bearing J', and is provided with a screw threaded end which extends forward through an ordinary threaded block carried b v a carriage K, mounted on a suitable guide-wayY L, secured to the support. By means of the adjusting screw (irt1 the friction between the side of the pulley G and the periphery of the friction wheel ll may he regulated. The carriage is provided with a tool pest K', in which the knife K2, is adapted to be secured. A. U-shapcd guideeye K3, extends up from one side of the carriage K, in which one end of the tool rest M, is adapted to tit, which is only used when operating on the periphery of the work` The friction wheel H, is provided with a grooved collar H', to which the forked end N', of the rod N, is secured.. The other end is connted to a lever O, pivoted in a slot formed in the support A, and working against the rack O', arranged on the support adjacent the slot, and by sliding the friction wheel H, first to one side of the center of the pulley G, and then to the other side for rotating the shaft in one direction, and then in the opposite direction so that the knife will be forced to travel in and out, over the surface of the work as desired.

Mounted on the support B, in the journals P', is a shaft P, provided with the ordinary pulleys P2, at one end, over which the drive belt Q, is adapted to ass, and is provided with a work holder '5, at the other end which is adapted to support the work being turned. A frame R, is mounted on the rear of the support B, and is provided with a pulley S, mounted on a slotted shaft S', journaled in bearings S2, at an angle to the support. One end of the shaft is rovided with a socket S8, in which a bit S4, is adaptf ed to be secured. The other end projects out to one side of the frame and is loosely connected to a hand-crank T, pivoted to the frame and by means of which the bit can be shoved in or out, as desired.

A carriage U is mounted on a guide-way U', secured to the support, and is provided with ordinary screw-adjusting means U2,

eonneeled to the carriage. The carriage is provided with upwardly extendingr pins U, between which the other end of the tool rest M, is adapted to fit. The rest M is detached when operating on the face of the block and is unl)Y usi-d when operatiiw' on the periphery of [he rune and it wilhe readily seen (hat when the rest is in position it ezln he adjusted when desired by operating the earriages K and U.

Ulmiings are formed in the frame C, in which pins C', are adapted 1'0 fit forming guideways for the belt.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new and, desire to (-ure hy Letters Patent is:-

In a lathe the combination with a pair of guide-ways, of carriages slidahly "mounted on said guide -\.iays, spaced vertical pins arranged on one 0l' said carriages and an eye arranged on. the other carriage for holding e tool rest, threaded blocks arranged under said carriages, :L hand operated serew mounted in the block carried by the carriage With the pins, a threaded shaft Working in the bleek of the other carriage, .said Shaft he: ing provided with a Slotted end portion, a frietional wheel keyed on the Slotted end of said Shaft, a drive pulley having its face into Contact with the edge ol Said wheel and means Connected to said frletional wheel for adjusting the saine with respect to the face of the drive pulley.
